I believe the answer is A. 40.
The answer is c because you have to say 27 minus the number minus 3
B, because the mid segment is half the length of the third side
Answer:
f(x) = x*3/4 + 42.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The original difference between the pair is 70 - 30 = 40
The new difference between the pair is 95 - 65 = 30
Since the differences are not the same, Mrs Bailey must first perform a (slope) multiplication by a factor of 30/40 or 3/4
Then 30 * 3/4 = 22.5
Then she can shift the scores up by 65 - 22.5 = 42.5 in order to get the range from 65 to 95
Therefore, f(x) = x*3/4 + 42.5. We can test that
f(30) = 30*3/4 + 42.5 = 65
f(70) = 70*3/4 + 42.5 = 95
Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.
b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c
The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph
